Shift pattern: Thursday 15:30–21:00 and Sunday 11:00–21:00 during term time. During non-term time, shifts run from 08:30–21:00, so flexibility is required during school holidays.
We are looking for caring, reliable and confident female support worker to join a small team supporting, a young person with complex medical and developmental needs who lives at home with her dad in Leigh.
The person we supports requires calm, patient and person‑centred support. She has Sturge‑Weber Syndrome, well‑controlled epilepsy (emergency Buccolam in place), is non‑verbal, and visually impaired. She benefits from clear routines, reassurance and sensitive care.
